I can feel my soul... yearning for something. It's like the hunger from weeks of starvation, or the thirst from days in the desert without water. But I still push on, wondering when will my soul ever be at peace again.

Glaring evidence of Si: trying to discredit someone's ideas or opinions for no other reason than that the person is viewed as being inconsistent; also absurdly and irrationally trying to "prove" that some one doesn't have the correct facts in the present just because they didn't happen to have them a year or two ago

I'm saying that this is glaring evidence of Si, to base an argument purely upon being annoyed that a person or thing is inconsistent (Si loves consistency and linear sequence of thought pattern) and also to offer an unsubstantial argument that someone must not know something right now if they didn't know it two years ago. I mean that's the height of stupidity, in my opinion, but it's potentially something someone with Si would resort to under emotional frustration.

I just don't think people know what the functions are, sometimes, like they think they don't have Si, but this is a clear sign of Si thinking.

This random thought wasn't directed at you, but it was directed at anyone who recognizes themselves in trying to use those two arguments ...because essentially all perceiving functions are irrational, and these are irrational arguments, they are definitely not Ti, Te, Fi, or Fe.

Same could go for me, when I try to discredit people's ideas or opinions for being "unrealistic." That's an Se perception, and something I might resort to when not using my Fi or Te to construct more rational arguments.
